The holiday season is a time for giving, sharing, and spreading warmth. At Prestige Recruitment, we believe in making a meaningful impact in our community, especially during this festive time of year. That's why we have been busy with our Festive Food Collection Drive in partnership with the Trussell Trust.
What's It All About?
Our Festive Food Collection Drive is an initiative aimed at collecting food donations from local businesses for local food banks across the North West. Our goal was to bring nourishment and comfort to those who need it most during this special season.
Where Did The Donations Go?
We partnered with the Trussell Trust, a remarkable organisation supporting a nationwide network of food banks. They provide emergency food and support to individuals and families facing tough times. All the donations will be distributed to people in the local community.
More About The Trussell Trust
The Trussell Trust is an organisation on a mission to make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing poverty and hunger in the UK. Here's a closer look at who they are and what they stand for:
Who They Are:
The Trussell Trust is a beacon of hope and support, orchestrating a nationwide network of food banks across the United Kingdom.
Their core mission revolves around providing emergency food and comprehensive support to individuals and families who find themselves trapped in the cycle of poverty.
What They Do:
The Trussell Trust oversees a remarkable network of more than 1,300 food bank centres strategically located throughout the UK. These centres serve as vital lifelines for people in need.
These food banks are empowered to provide a minimum of three days' worth of nutritionally balanced emergency food to individuals and families who have been referred during times of crisis. These referrals can come from various sources, including advice agencies, GPs, social services, and schools.
But it doesn't stop at providing food; the Trussell Trust goes further. They offer invaluable support to help people address and overcome the crises they are facing, aiming to break the cycle of poverty once and for all.
Their Vision:
With more than 14 million people in the UK living below the poverty line, the Trussell Trust recognises that every person's struggle with poverty is unique and complex.
They understand that ending hunger requires more than just food. That's why they are committed to addressing the structural issues that keep people locked in poverty.
Through collaboration with food banks in their network and their respective communities, they actively challenge these systemic issues and advocate for meaningful change. Their ultimate goal is to eliminate the need for food banks in the UK.
The Trussell Trust is not just about providing food; they are about transforming lives, advocating for change, and working tirelessly to create a future where hunger and poverty are no longer a reality for anyone in the UK. https://www.trusselltrust.org
